Xmas Day Stamping!

I was so excited to get new Konad stamping plates for Xmas that I had to try them out straight away, in these pics I used Zoya Savita (Matte) with Sally Hansen Celeb City and the konad m84 stamping plate, I really love the stars, this image was the only reason I ordered the m84 plate but it was definitely worth it.

Thank ZOYA It's Xmas!

I decided to do this blog post as I had such a great experience ordering my xmas pressies during the Zoya flash promos this month that I ended up with a great haul of Zoya products in my xmas stash. I have to say the customer service at Zoya is absolutely fantastic I had to contact them once via live chat and they were really helpful and able to fix the issue straight away, I love that Zoya included so many color charts with my orders it was a really nice bonus and I have found a lot more colors to add to my wishlist!

Essence - Blue Addicted

I absolutely love this nail polish I am so upset I was only able to get one 5ml bottle of it I will be stalking my local Target every week until they get more stock of their Essence Colors.

Blue Addicted has dark blue jelly base with a mixture of blue and green hex glitter and some smaller blue glitter, it is a dupe of the hugely popular Deborah Lippman Across The Universe but only costs a fraction of the price if my target gets more stock I will be buying them out.

Island Girl- Aloha Surf

Aloha Surf is the last of the Island Girl colors I got on my US trip, It is a rainbow glitter in a clear base similar to some of the other popular colors that have been released this year.

I swatched Aloha Surf on its own but it is probably better for layering over another color which I did not do as I like to see what a color looks like on its own first, my experience with Island Girl nail polishes has been really good and I will definitely buy more on my next trip.

Nicole By OPI Me + Blue

This is the last of the swatches of the Nicole by OPI colors that I got on my trip to the USA, Me + Blue is from Nicole By OPI's Just Beiber Collection although I really can't stand Justin Beiber this blue polish is to gorgeous to resist and I love the holographic micro glitter.

I think I got four bottles of Nicole by OPI on my trip and to be honest with you they really don't compare to other OPI polishes, some of the Nicole by OPI polishes the formula hasn't been very good and I also can't stand the brushes or the shape of the bottles, I would really only buy Nicole By OPI again if it was an amazing color that I couldn't live without.

China Glaze 2012 - On Safari Collection

The New China Glaze On Safari Collection to be released in 2012 looks very cool, I am really excited about the two new glitters "I Herd That' and "I'm Not Lion' I am also really looking forward to swatching 'Manhunt' and 'Exotic Encounter'.

I think this is one of the more exciting China Glaze Collections for next year and can't wait to find out the exact release date.

China Glaze Summer 2012 - Summer Neons

China Glaze Summer 2012 Collection, Summer Neons is the third neon collection China Glaze has released in the last few years but we have to face facts we all love neon colors and they are fantastic for water marbling and nail art.

There are few cool new shades available that I have not seen dupes of in previous China Glaze neon collections, I am really looking forward to swatching Ride The Waves and Splish Splash, the two blues from this collection.

OPI New York City Ballet Collection

OPI New York City Ballet Collection "six new soft shades to inspire your inner ballerina"

There is very little information available about this collection yet but it does remind me a lot of last years Femme De Cirque collection will have to wait and see if there are any dupes, please check back I will post an update as soon I have more info.

Essie Spring 2012 - Go Overboard

Essie Go Overboard Collection is a trio of nautical inspired shades set to be released for spring 2012, once again I am not sure of the exact release date but it looks like the colors may be available at some stores in the USA already.

Essie Resort 2012 Collection

There are so many new collections coming out next year, Essie Resort 2012 is the most exciting Essie Collection I have seen so far, Essie's resort collection collections normally appeal to me a bit more than the normal seasonal collections.

I am loving purple polishes at the moment and am dying to try No More Film, there isn't too much info about this collection yet and I am not sure of the release date but will keep you posted.

Pink-A-Boo, Sure Shot, She's Picture Perfect, No More Film.
